The Myth of One Dimensional Change

Those who promote and sell single dimension solutions will claim that the one they have is the answer. But of course these single dimensional answers rarely produce miraculous results:

  • A company promoting ‘six sigma’ or ‘call quality software’ or ‘coaching programs’ or ‘customer feedback solutions’ or ‘lean’ is going to claim that this particular solution alone is the miracle cure that organisations are looking for.
  • Single dimensions solutions produce single dimension, single digit and temporary results.
  • In some cases, focus on a single solution can even produce negative results.

Instead we’ll explore how a number of organisations have obtained dramatic improvements in both productivity and the customer experience using a ‘multi-dimensional’ approach

What You'll Learn

  • Unintended Consequences - One idea solutions can have unintended consequence which, far from producing improvements, can actually cause negative results.
  • Why Companies resort to a Narrow Approach? - Many companies have adopted such a disciplined approach to change and investment, that they have sometimes fed the one dimensional fire.
  • Results of Multi-Dimensional Solutions - A number of companies have obtained more impressive and lasting results with multi-dimensional solutions.

 

Whitepaper at a Glance

It should be pretty obvious that those who promote and sell single dimension solutions will claim that the one they have is the answer. It’s hard for them to say anything else. If you are a company promoting ‘six sigma’ or ‘call quality software’ or ‘coaching programs’ or ‘customer feedback solutions’ or ‘lean’ you are going to claim that this particular solution alone is the miracle cure that organisations are looking for.

But of course these single dimensional answers rarely produce miraculous results. Most of these solutions can help, but form only one piece of a complex puzzle that drives service or sales performance. Time and again we have seen single dimensions solutions produce single dimension, single digit and temporary results. We’ll show that in some cases, focus on a single solution can even produce negative results

In this White Paper, instead we’ll explore how a number of organisations have obtained dramatic improvements in both productivity and the customer experience using a ‘multidimensional’ approach and in the process re-designing some of the single solution ideas that they had implemented.
